We’re Looking for Nominees for the Horace Mann Spirit of Service Awards

Antioch University New England (AUNE) students, faculty, alumni and staff, along with residents in the greater Monadnock region, are invited to submit nominations in three categories for the 2012 Horace Mann Spirit of Service Awards. Deadline for submitting nominations is March 16.

The awards are named for Horace Mann, the first president of Antioch College and a noted abolitionist and educator, to recognize individuals who have won victories for humanity through their work or volunteerism.

The Horace Mann Spirit of Service Awards represent the selfless labor of extraordinary women and men who seek no reward except to improve the lives of others. Their victories may be large or small, local or global in scope. In honoring their efforts, we demonstrate our commitment to public service and appreciation for those who believe in, and work for, community engagement, diversity, lifelong learning, sustainability and social justice.

Three outstanding individuals will receive the 2012 Horace Mann Spirit of Service awards: one AUNE graduate, one member of the faculty or staff and one community citizen. We invite you to nominate individuals who meet these criteria and help us to honor their achievements. You may nominate more than one person. Please use a separate form for each nomination.
